New traffic patterns will be in place between mileposts 341-343 to allow crews to apply new pavement markings in the area; line-painting attempted last night was ineffective due to weather conditions. A single lane pattern is being put into effect both eastbound and westbound, closing the left and center lanes.

The pattern is expected to be lifted by 2 a.m., Feb. 1. Those drivers using the Turnpike should anticipate slow-moving or stopped traffic and obey posted speed limits through the work zone until patterns are lifted. Motorists are encouraged to find alternative routes during these work hours.
